[PHP] Variables not available

[Dotan Cohen]

I am running php 5.0.4 at home on my Fedora Core 4 box. Post and get
variables are not available in my scripts. For instance, in
file.php?foo=bar the variable $foo is empty. Same thing for variables
passed in forms (get or post), which is how I came across this.

What could cause this? How could I repair it? Thanks.

This is not a 'problem'.

[PHP] Round with ONE-decimal... always...

[Gustav Wiberg]

Hi there!

I want to adjust the round() -function a little...

If I put round(6,0) there will be an output of 6
If I put round(6,32) there will be an output of 6,3

I want it to have 6,0 instead of just 6... I guess there is an easy solution 
to this? Suggestions?

I changed line 4 from

$dir = '/path/to/php/files';

//looks at all $dir/*.php files.
$dir = $_SERVER['PWD']; 

Which means that you will not have to modifiy the line each time you
place it in a different directory. Other than that, using glob in this
function;

function getPhpFileList($dir)
{
  if (!is_dir($dir)) $dir = '.';
  return glob($dir . '/*.php');
}

Will not work in older versions of PHP. Some folks still have these
older versions running (for various reasons) and may need this changed.

hi...

has anyone used log4php in your php code? any success/horror stories? i'm
considering using it as i want/need a way of tracking different msg/error
levels within the code i'm starting to create. i'm looking for some method
of being able to determine/state the level of msgs i want to capture for the
various functions/modules within the app. i'd really like to be able to set
this up from an 'admin' function within the app. i'd also like the ability
to capture this information to either a log file, or db tbl..

Hi Ross,

Is there a real reason for deleting the articles? Why not only display
articles where the current date/time is less than the expiration date/time?

Once the current date/time is greater than the expiration date/time, stop
displaying the article.

Same effect as far as your users are concerned, and you're not faced with
the frustration of, 'I need a copy of that article from 12 months ago!'

Much warmth,

Murray

[PHP] set_time_limit behavior

[michael]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out why a script that is set to time out after 30
seconds will run indefinitely.  For example,

set_time_limit(30);
echo ini_get('max_execution_time'), "";
echo date("H:i:s"), "";
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
{
  sleep(10);
  echo date("H:i:s"),"";
  flush();
}
echo "Done!";

result:

30

13:54:09



14:10:50

Done!


As you can see, this script ran for over 14 minutes.  I have read that
max_execution_time is bound to CPU time, and I am not sure how this
translates into being able to effectively use this parameter.

Comments / insight extremely appreciated.

Michael

Are you running PHP in safe mode? If so set_time_limit() has no effect.

If you are going to be accepting data, and you don't care or are not  
sure if it's going to be a GET or a POST, then use $_REQUEST, which  
contains both $_GET and $_POST data.

[PHP] Best way to mass mail

[Ryan A]

Hi,
My client has a dating site and now he wants to mail all his members,
he does not want to use any of the already installed mailing lists but wants
us to make one
for him, he's on a dedicated server.

Presently he does not have too many members, just a few thousand (around 3k
i guess),
I remember reading sometime back on the list that using the mail() may not
be the best
option...not sure if thats still true.

The thing that bothers me the most is if the program times out..., how do I
start again from
the ones that have not been sent?

eg:
(10 members)
mail gets sent to first 4 members then times out
we re-click on the send button and it starts again from one...again times
out
(this happens 5 times)

that means members 1-4 will get the same email 5 times

Doing this the hard way would be to connect to the db after each successful
mail and "mark"
each member with todays date or something...but I would like to avoid so
many calls to the
DB if possible...esp if the site grows.

Ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

[PHP] mysql_connect

Hello,

I have a strange bug I can't figure out.  I am trying to use a third
party library and it is throwing errors:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect()

This doesn't make sense to me as I have other code on that box that
uses mysql_pconnect() with no problem.  Why would some code be able to
use it while other code can't?

The 'problem' was in fact register globals. I did a little research
and decided to leave it off. So I'm accessing the variables like
$_POST['foo']. Thanks.

Even if you decide not to use it, the code will probably help you out

Build a queueing system, and use cron to actually process and mail the
list.

Longer explanation:

I run a mass-mailer for a non-profit, and the way our works is to store
all mail information in a database. We then have a cronjob that runs
each minute and checks to see if any mailings need to be sent (basically,
the absense of a 'sent' flag), and then processes the mailing.

Mails are then queued to an MTA -- in our case, Postfix. This allows us
to handle bounces (another script is triggered when email bounces back
to the reply-to address). 

So, on your web-based front-end, when you click 'Send', it actually
simply places the information in a database queue, and the cronjob does
the actual sending.

[PHP] Re: Best way to mass mail

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

on 09/12/2005 10:50 AM Ryan A said the following:

The thing that bothers me the most is if the program times out..., how do I
start again from
the ones that have not been sent?


Use set_time_limit(0); and your script will never timeout. Anyway, long 
standing scripts should be run off your Web server, maybe started from 
by cron.

We send to 1,000 subscribers each night, here's the guts of the code. 
There's one call to fetch the names and email addresses from the database.


while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
$first_name = $row[ first_name ];
$last_name  = $row[ last_name ];
$email  = $row[ email ];

/* recipient */
$recipient = $email;

/* send it */
$lMailedOK = mail($recipient, $subject, 
$message, $headers);

if ($lMailedOK != 0 )
{
$lMailedOK = "OK";
}else{
$lMailedOK="FAILED";
}
echo $recipient . " - " . $lMailedOK ."";
// give ourselves more time
set_time_limit( 20 );
} //$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )

$message is built higher up in the process - I keep resetting the time out 
- set_time_limit(20).

After each message is sent, $lMailedOK and the names are echoed to the browser.

When the process completes, we know who it went to and if the call to 
mail() succeeded.


Hope this is helpful - Miles Thompson

We don't have access to cron processes on our ISP's server, so the nightly 
mailing goes out as a scheduled job from a Windows XP box.


We have maybe three glitches per year:

The set_time_limit() function and the configuration directive

Re: [PHP] set_time_limit behavior

[michael]

Hi Jim,

I certainly did overlook the ramifications of the sleep function.  I 
modified my script so that sleep is not called:


set_time_limit(1);
echo ini_get('max_execution_time'), "";
echo date("H:i:s"), "";
while (true)
{
  echo date("H:i:s"),"";
  flush();
}


This did time out!  But, oddly it timed out only after 10 seconds.  Any 
ideas of why the discrepancy?


Thanks,

Michael

[PHP] confirmation email script/code

hi..

has anybody come across a really good 'open source' chunk of code for

It is strightforward to write this yourself.  In my simple example, I
generate a 32 byte random ID when the user registers and save it along with
his data in the DB. Then, I send him an email with a link like this:

www.example.com/register.php?id=7H7dh869ha320J6GhAs89L0lJ00j09df?action=conf
irm

When he clicks the link, I flip a flag in his DB record that he has
confirmed.

I have cron periodically go and clean up unconfirmed records that have timed
out.

[PHP] hidden database issue????

[bruce]

hi...

i have a situation with a server that i have. i have mysql installed with
php..

the mysql is V4.1.12. i'm trying to see/view a database from the command
line and i can't see it when i login to mysql as root. i also can't see it
when i try to login to mysql as the given user.

from the php app, i see that the app makes a valid connection using:
 host= 192.168.1.foo
 dbname  = cat
 user= dog
 passwd  = dog

i've tracked the code, it's making the connection, and interfacing with the
database/tables...

however, when i try to access the db as either root/dog, i can't see the
database 'cat'
  mysql -udog -pdog -h192.168.1.foo
  mysql -uroot -p

neither one of these approaches sems to work, ie, i can't see the 'cat'
database in the mysql list of tables...

any idea what's going on...

when i get into mysql as root, i can see/manipulate all the other databases.

thanks for any pointers/thoughts/etc...

searching google hasn't led to any solid solutions..

RE: [PHP] confirmation email script/code

[bruce]

jim...

pretty much what i had thought about... question.. how does one correctly!!!
set up a cron process...

i assume that i can write a quick perl/php app that iterates through the
'emailconfirmTBL' looking at the date, and the confirm status. if the
cleanup app sees any records that are over a certain age, and haven't been
confirmed, it can simply delete the record. but shouldn't the cleanup also
do a rollback/delete of the user registration records as well...

this kind of approach would lend itself to being monitored by an admin who
could then look to see where in the process a given user is/was...

any good/quick guides you can point me to!

thanks

You can have your own cron processes. See man crontab. Try "crontab -e"

their jobs in a crontab.



We have maybe three glitches per year:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Perhaps I am just misreading your statement "i can't see the 'cat' database 
in the mysql list of tables...", but you seem to be confusing database and 
table.  If cat is a db, then it is not a table in the mysql db.  If you are 
logged into mysql as a user who has access to cat, you will see it in the 
output of


  SHOW DATABASES;

You can set cat as the default db by issuing

  USE cat;

After that, you can see the tables in cat by entering

  SHOW TABLES;

If that's not the issue, you can confirm that you are logged in as the 
correct user with


  SELECT CURRENT_USER();

and you can check on said user's permissions with (using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as 
the user):


  SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED];

If I'm on the wrong track, just send any additional info needed to clarify 
your problem.

Yeah, whatever you need to do to keep your DB happy.  What I did was write a
php script that shuffles through the database and deletes any registration
records from the `users` table that weren't confirmed within 7 days of
sign-up.  Then set up a cron job (see "man crontab") that runs it once per
day.  It emails me a report about what it did when it's done.

Hi John,

I only have experience with CVS and Subversion, but of the two, I *much*
prefer Subversion. Could be a purely subjective thing, but it's worth
looking into all the same.

Much warmth,

John,

I'm using Subversion with Tortoise (this is for Windows), in a one man 
operation, and mostly for Visual Basic work. Merges can get a little hairy 
because I have some hideously complexforms, but it does allow me to keep a 
trunk line to support users and do my development in a branch.


No experience with a Subversion add-in for the Mac.

Heck, ya gotta like it just for its name.

Just use the mail function and it will get queued in Postfix.

If he is running postfix on the same machine that postfix is running, it 
 does not make much sense to send the message via SMTP because it is a 
much slower way to do the same thing.

I'm not. I was hoping to glean a method for Postfix that I could apply
to sendmail.

Postfix is compatible with sendmail. It provides a wrapper program also 
named sendmail to act as a replacement. This is standard in Unix/Linux 
machines. Usually you only have on MTA program installed that can either 
be sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, etc.. If you use the mail() function, 
it uses whatever is installed in your machine because by default it 
calls the sendmail program.

I am aware of that but the problem I'm having is inconsistent mailings.
For example, an email is supposed to be sent to me everytime someone
creates a new account on our website but I only get about 1 out of 5 of
these emails and I have no idea why. I was trying to take PHP out of the
loop with regards to sending email so that I could rule out PHP as being
the problem.

If you use PHP mail() function it just calls the sendmail wrapper. If 
you loose messages, you should check the logs of the installed MTA. Your 
problem seems to be misconfiguration like you are not setting a valid 
return path address or your machine does not have a reverse record for 
its IP in the DNS.


For certain kinds of problems, I usually recommend this class that comes 
with a wrapper function named smtp_mail(). It works like the mail() 
function but injects the message via the SMTP server. However, I am not 
sure if it will work any better if your problems are one of those that I 
suggested above. In any case, you can try it:


http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You also would need this:

[PHP] mktime

A little confused with mktime, I'm trying to get how many days are in a

$year = "2006";
$epoch = mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, $year); // I have to have 1 for month or
I get which day it is now. Which sucks.
$date = date("z Y", $epoch); 
print($date); // here is the problem, I get 365 days, but the year is
2005, not 2006, same goes for any year I put in.

[PHP] Problem with PEAR:SOAP

[-k.]

I just installed the SOAP Pear package (version 0.9.1) when i try and:
require_once('SOAP/Client.php');

i get the following errors:
Warning: main(HTTP/Request.php): failed to open stream: No such file or

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'HTTP/Request.php'

Line 27 in WSDL.php is, as you might guess, 
require_once 'HTTP/Request.php';

I looked in /usr/local/lib/php/ and there is no HTTP directory (much less a

the HTTP PEAR package installed (Version 1.3.6 ). My question is should 
installing the HTTP

And where do i get
them? Am i missing a dependency or something? Did i install HTTP incorrectly?

[PHP] turning off echoing of chars

[matt VanDeWalle]

hello,
I am wanting to turn of screen echo for a login function or changing a 
password or similar things.  I got the function to almost work, however it 
turns off the screen echo but it asks for the password, won't give you a 
chance to fill it in, and skips right on to the next prompt(and has the 
"non-echoing" for that stuff.  incase this isn't clear which i assume alot 
of things which I guess i shouldnt ok, what i am doing:

*/ code snippit here */
socket_write($sock, "enter a username");
$name = socket_read($sock, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ);
/* all good to this point */
socket_write($sock, "enter a password");
socket_write($sock, sprintf("%c%c%c",255,251,1));
$pwd = socket_read($sock, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ);
/* will skip right on by to the next prompt and fill in $pwd with some of 
those non-alphanumeric chars */


and the next prompt is where the no-screen-echo finally works like it 
should

I must be doing something incorrectly but, what?

[PHP] Problem with POST reply

Hi,
I am using PHP to post a request to a server which returns an XML
document.
We have no problems with the same service if we use a get request.
Here is the result:
 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 02:01:53 GMT
Server: Apache

The issue is the '2000' that appears...it inserts itself every 250 lines

Heres the code I am using to post the request:

 $urlencoded = "";
 while (list($key,$value) = each($vars))

 $urlencoded = substr($urlencoded,0,-1); 
 $content_length = strlen($urlencoded);
 $headers = "POST $url HTTP/1.1

It's because the response encoding is chunked. You can read about chunks 
in the RFC documents.


You may also want to try this HTTP client that can send HTTP requests 
and de-chunk the responses, when necessary:

This was more in the instance that the server with the MTA is separate
from the web server (which it often will be). You're right though -- if
the MTA is on the same machine, just use the local executables.

The content-length header that you send is of the request data length. 
It has nothing to do with the response.

[PHP] Problem w/ reading a txt file.

[sub]

 Problem w/ reading a txt file.
 
 The error I get is "Warning: opendir(/home/pudlz/public_html ): failed to
 open dir: No such file or directory "
 
 Here's my code::
 
 $main = file('folders.txt');
 $counter = count($main);
 
 for($i=0;$i<$counter;$i++)
 {
  if ($handle = opendir("$main[$i]"))
  {
 $b=0;
   }
 }
 
 
 It's reading and extra space at the end of all my lines. How do I prevent
 that?

Not to put down your efforts or anything, but what's wrong with 
SimpleXML, DOM XML, XML Reader, XML Parser etc. all of which are native 
PHP functions?

I don't know, I've not looked at them. Does offering another 
implementation of a concept imply that there is something wrong with 
existing implementations? If that is the case, I wouldn't have bothered 
sharing since I don't want to offend anyone. It was just a learning 
exercise.

No, of course the offering of a new implementation does not imply there 
is something wrong with the existing ones. However, re-inventing the 
wheel is an expensive exercise unless there is something wrong with the 
existing implementations.


I hope that you don't take this the wrong way; I was merely pointing out 
that someone else has already done this.

[PHP] PHP 5, LDAP/Active Directory

[Joe Wollard]

Greetings all:

I've looked through php.net and scoured Google for a solution to an  
issue I'm having with PHP and LDAP but have so far found nothing. I'm  
trying to build an intranet site that uses the company LDAP (Active  
Directory really) service but I can't seem to get around the  
"Operations error" and other such messages when trying to bind.


On my server I'm running:
Fedora Core 4
Apache 2
PHP 5 compiled with OpenLDAP

I must confess that I'm very new to LDAP so it is likely that my  
problem is inexperience, but it seems that this issue has been  
resolved by others so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.


To shed more light on the topic, bug #30670 [ http://bugs.php.net/ 
bug.php?id=30670&edit=0 ] seems to fit my situation perfectly. As  
some of the posts on that bug suggest, I've tried using

ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,3);
ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS,0);
between ldap_connect and ldap_bind but I still get the "Operations  
error" message. Everyone seems to be able to get this to work as long  
as they are running PHP4, but I have yet to see (or realize I've  
seen) a solution from someone using PHP5. I've also found where  
"blizzards at libero dot it" has posted "When querying a windows  
2000/2003 AD you MUST use only SASL and not TLS (non supported)."

- Is this true?

Another thing worth mentioning here is that the company I work for  
has allowed us to build our own intranet system for our Dept and  
offers little to no support for server specs and settings, but I will  
try to get any information to the list that might be helpful.


Thanks in advance for any advice or direction you can provide on this  
topic.

Subject: [PHP] can't connect to mysql


I finally got php5 compiled with mysql but now I can't connect using
mysql_connect without getting the error of:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in...

I can ssh into the box and log in to mysql so I think it's running. 
Plus if I try to run mysqld, I get this error:


ning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976
050912 19:57:04 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port:

050912 19:57:04 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server
running on port: 3306 ?
050912 19:57:04 [ERROR] Aborting

050912 19:57:04 [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete

What could be wrong??

Thanks!
